• DO NOT ever under any circumstances use this laser engraver if the exhaust system is not working
properly. Always ensure that the exhaust fan can remove the dust and gas produced by the engraving
process in accordance with all applicable local and national laws and regulations. Immediately stop use
if the exhaust fan or vent pipe malfunctions.
• Users must exercise special caution when working with conductive materials as buildup of their dust
and ambient particles may damage electrical components, cause short circuits, or produce other effects
including reflected laser radiation.

This machine CANNOT be used with the following materials or with any materials which include them:
• Artificial Leather containing Hexavalent Chromium (Cr[VI]), due to its toxic fumes
• Astatine, due to its toxic fumes
• Beryllium Oxide, due to its toxic fumes
• Bromine, due to its toxic fumes
• Chlorine, including Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC, Vinyl, Cintra, etc.), due to its toxic
fumes
• Fluorine, including Polytetrafluoroethylenes (Teflon, PTFE, etc.), due to its toxic fumes
• Iodine, due to its toxic fumes
• Metals, due to their conductivity and reflectivity
• Phenolic Resins, including various forms of Epoxy, due to their toxic fumes
• Polycarbonate (PC, Lexan, etc.), due to its toxic fumes
For all other materials, if you are unsure about its safety or laserability with this device, seek out its material
safety data sheet (MSDS). Pay especial attention to information about safety, toxicity, corrosiveness,
reflectivity, and reaction(s) to high heat. Alternatively, contact our support department for further guidance.
